Unifying Disparate Systems Into a Unified, Cybersecure Platform

A leading national utilities provider encountered integration challenges with their communications networks as they consolidated several smaller, regional providers. Partnering with Eastern, the utility was able to integrate a multi-state private voice and data network to homogenize their platform and provide an easily scalable, rapid solution for both further expansion and surge capacity in future crisis response, all with ongoing 24/7/365 cybersecurity support from Eastern.

Instant, Off-Hour Support for Maintenance of a Critical Backup Core

At 10:30 PM on Saturday evening, a regional utilities provider had technical complications with the backup core of their 900 MHz data system. The utility's communication shop was escalated and connected to the appropriate engineering team at Eastern. Before midnight, the dispatched Eastern engineer had concluded on-site support, successfully restoring the backup network core to full operations.

Leveraging Low-Density Equipment and Protocols to Support 220 MHz Communications

A national utility wanted to leverage its statewide 220 MHz license to communicate with crews in both routine and emergency situations in a redundant, reliable, but cost-effective manner. Given the 220 MHz band's scarcity, Eastern was uniquely positioned to help the utility achieve its goals throughout the state, leveraging Eastern's RF engineering expertise and wide ranging, highly diverse product line to develop the system and support it in an ongoing maintenance capacity.
